The stuff that you grew up with—or that your parents did—has become today's lighthearted and hip new graphic style. Borrowing sophisticated design elements from the 1940s, the tiki and lounge-chic styles of the 50s, and the easy, "hang loose" feel of the 60s and 70s, this book provides more than 60 projects and ideas for cards, party decorations, gifts, and scrapbook layouts. The authors demonstrate numerous ways to use retro papers, rubber stamps, and other doodads available in fabric and craft stores, and also offer "Make it Retro" tips on where to find genuinely old items and how to make new ones look old.
